Missing teen Natalee Holloway overdosed after being slipped Ecstasy at an Aruba night-spot, died on a dark beach and was dumped at sea by one of the panicked boys she had befriended.
The National Enquirer can reveal that is the chilling theory secretly being pursued by police on the Dutch Caribbean island.
Our own investigation shows that Natalee’s classmates from Mountain Brook, Alabama, who were with her during her final hours, support cops’ fears that the normally responsible honor student was drugged.
A source close to the case said: “The detectives are certain that Natalee is dead. And if she was dropped by boat far enough from shore where the currents are right, it’s unlikely her body would ever be found.”
Joran van der Sloot, 17, and three other men have been treated as suspects and are being questioned in the grim Aruba prison in San Nicolas. They have not been charged.
Our investigation in Aruba has uncovered a disturbing portrait of the apparent main suspect — 6 ft 5 in van der Sloot, the son of a wealthy Dutch lawyer. Friends claim that hard drinking, violence-prone Joran:
º PREYS on naïve young American girls for sex
º LIKES to fight and was forced to get anger management counseling
º POSTED pictures of himself on a personal website acting out sadomasochistic games
